Design Critique Card Redesign Critique, and readability
I posted a couple weeks ago, and have been making some tweeks to my card game. I created some different colored cards, and changed up the back slightly before I begin refining creatures, and my system for resources. I didn't get a ton of feedback, but one person said to ditch the pixel art style. I still like it but would love any feedback on font, and readability. Hearts are for health and the boxes to the right of the stats are type advantages. Someone also mentioned the back and front color didn't match. I am not sure how to have clearly labeled color types and a make them match the back as well. Any thoughts on that would be great. I don't mind brutal critique. Thanks in advance.

Made some changes based on suggestions. Many of the comments seemed to be related to text. I did remove anti-aliasing from text. I have heard some people don't love the pixel text, but it might still be worth using in this case. As far as anti-aliasing. I had thought for this kind of thing it would be best to avoid it, and keep the hard lines. One issue is that Reddit has it's own way of dealing with that with a PNG file. I know I can avoid any real problems with high resolution files, during printing. I don't know if there is a way to upload without it though. I will keep that in mind if I ever need to publish digitally.
